Hey Micky; surely the title isn“t "To Love" because this one“s from the 1998 album, a piano/ballad one.... On the other way the album I seek is not also the one from 1974, also titled "Tristan and Isault".

Can you try to remember the title?

Great Micky! Thanks very much!

Perhaps I“ll buy it. In a contrast would also get the mentioned To Love, where he just plays piano and sings...

No problem at all!!!  Post your thoughts on it if you get it.  Have become a big fan of his,  I'm considering checking that out.

He is renowned for long drum solos. I saw him do a 45 minute solo in a concert once, and it was not boring for a single second.

Korusz is a double CD, mostly of Magma drum solos from 1974/5. There's a book format version which also includes lots of pictures and some of the thoughts of the great man himself.

There's also a video, Un Homme et Une Batterie, in which Vander talks and plays, described on Recommended Records website as 'A lesson, a philosophy, a technique'.

thanks for the info, and I'll change that from a possible future purchase to a definite.  I'd like to learn about more him and the group.
